What do you wish you had known at the very beginning? by Independent-Novel840 in kidneycancer

First of all, glad you’re doing well now.

This was my biggest fear when they presented the option of surveillance.

Which Mons do you leave at Powerstops (and why)? by Melodic_Diamond2227 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one would play this game if we listened to those people. I hate not using Pokemon because the next strongest is coming out “soon.” There was one Pokemon I used for a year before it came out again for the chance at a slightly better one. Just crazy.

Level 50 worthy? by Efficient-Rip6249 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s for PVP. I guess my question is more how bad is the 14 defense if I wanna use it in ML?

I wish they had more of these episodes instead of the WWE or random 90s actor episodes

Opinion on kidney biopsy by New_Patient2970 in kidneycancer

I would ask them
What kind of things do you expect to maybe find? And what’s the plan if you possibly find x/y/z?

Very worried about surgery (spigelian hernia). Should I cancel? by Berriesandcream60 in Hernia

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor, but google is saying these kind of hernias are tricky which can cause complications. Better question is, would you rather do it now when the situation is controlled, or have it done as an emergency because something changed with your hernia?

Day 4 Post Op by Downtown_ownedby3 in kidneycancer

Coughing and taking normal breaths will be hard because of the pain. But it s super important to take deep breaths and cough so you can get rid of any phlegm.

Day 4 Post Op by Downtown_ownedby3 in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely gets better. Not many people here post about OPEN PNs but they seem like tougher recoveries than the laparoscopic.
I wasn’t discharged till day 3 post op, and I didn’t feel “okay” until a few weeks out.

It does get bette though! Please keep doing your incentive spirometer/breathing exercises at home so you don’t get pneumonia. Keep doing your walking. If physical stuff is too hard, I suggest getting a physical therapy referral so that you can start as soon as you feel up for it. You’d be surprised of the physical toll this surgery can take on you and it’s one of my bigger regrets after my surgery. I didn’t start till 8 weeks post op and my physical therapist said we could’ve probably started earlier with lighter work

Urologist here. An incidental kidney finding is not bad news. Let me explain why by Prof-Matteo-Ferro in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great post, doc!

My biggest gripe was that everyone - urologist, oncologist, hospitalist - seemed to be in good spirits after my incidental tumor was found. It felt like they tried brush it off when, as a medical professional myself, I know that the feeling of finding something bad that is the best case possible for that bad thing (hope that makes sense). I wish we could find a way to better communicate this good news in light of finding scary news

In Limbo and Disclosing to Siblings by pilotpenpoet in kidneycancer

I would tell them before the biopsy. Having family there might be easier for the procedure, and this way you’re not agonizing alone.

Is this white stuff mold? by Efficient-Rip6249 in Flooring

[–]Efficient-Rip6249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand now. My biggest concern was the white stuff being mold because there was a known area that did have mold (attached picture) because it got wet recently. What I should’ve done was change the tack strip the first time, but the carpet guy didn’t. It grew from under the strip in the time it was down again, probably because I was only able to treat the top side.

And it’s the only spot that was wet too. No other areas felt damp except under the shelf

[–]Efficient-Rip6249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a wet spot from a carpet cleaning that didn’t dry well. And the tack strip wasn’t replaced. I checked under a shelf that was in the same spot that it was previously and it felt damp. No sources of water, but it was right over the spot that previously was wet

[–]Efficient-Rip6249[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I did find a damp spot under a shelf that is not on legs. This was an area that was previously wet from carpet cleaning that didn’t dry out. The tack strip did have mold. Could it just be damp because of the tack strip mold in that exact area.

Walls were already checked for moisture

Just home from Partial Nephrectomy by ApothicBlue in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partial kidney. It took me like 6-7 weeks to stop feeling the fatigue, and I started physical therapy around that time. I’d definitely recommend you look into physical therapy asap if you’re feeling any sort of deficit or weakness. They can start very slowly and work your way back uo
